01 The story
Eighteen
years
of print-room
feedback,
rewoven.
01
The College Hoodie has been the go-to garment for decorators, universities and workwear buyers for nearly two decades. Version 2.0 keeps everything that made it the standard and rebuilds the parts that were only ever good enough.
02
A cotton-only print surface takes ink cleanly and consistently, while a 20% finer yarn provides a smoother, denser face for embroidery, DTF and screen print alike. Underneath, a thicker three-end fleece adds warmth and structure without adding bulk.
03
The result is a hoodie that photographs like retail, decorates like a blank should, and wears in rather than out.

02 Key features
Engineered for
decoration
Every change to the JH501 was made with the print room in mind — a cleaner canvas, a firmer handle and a finish that holds detail at scale.

Three-end
fleece
A thicker, brushed three-end back gives the 280gsm loopback real substance and a softer inner face.
03
20% finer
yarn
A finer, denser knit reduces surface texture — sharper embroidery, crisper transfers and smoother prints.
04
Three-panel
hood
A redesigned three-panel hood sits properly on the shoulder and keeps its shape after washing.
05
Refined
drawcords
Flat, colour-matched cords with tonal tipping and a cleaner eyelet finish across the range.

A scannable QR care label carries fibre, origin and compliance data for every garment.
Built To Be Branded
A blank that behaves
The finer face and cotton print surface were developed with decorators who run thousands of units a week. Less pilling, less migration, fewer reprints.
01 Even ink lay-down for screen print and DTF, with no polyester bleed.
02 Denser knit supports fine-line embroidery without stabiliser show.
03 Consistent shade batching across the full 24-colour palette.
04 Flat, clean shoulder and hood panels for larger placements.
